Finding the apartment of your dreams can be equal parts exciting and gratifying. The actual process of moving in, however? Not so much. Halfway through the move-in day, don't be surprised if you suddenly feel like throwing away all of your stuff and staying in your old home.

Thankfully, a little preparation can go a long way, so the apartment rental experts at Tudor Oaks Properties in Ashland, KY, are here with a few tips to make moving in a little bit easier:

1. Be Realistic About Your Space

Is your new apartment the same size as your old one? Are you downsizing from a house to an apartment rental? These are just a few of the factors you should consider before moving in. If your new space is smaller, try to cull down your belongings before you make the switch. As a general rule of thumb, if you haven't used an item in more than two years, throw it out.

2. Measure Your Furniture

Measure the available space before you move in so you know exactly where everything will go. If something doesn't fit, you'll know in advance that you need to get rid of it or put it in storage.

3. Color-Code Your Boxes

Few experiences are as overwhelming as being surrounded by boxes with no idea as to what was packed in each. Remembering what's inside your boxes can make things significantly easier, so designate a different hue for each room and mark appropriate boxes with markers or stickers.
